يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ (1)
O you wrapped up |
قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا (2)
Stand (to pray) all night, except a little |
نِّصْفَهُ أَوِ انقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا (3)
Half of it or less than that, a little |
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا (4)
Or a little more. And Rattil the Qur'an Tartil |
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا (5)
Verily, We shall send down to you a Word Thaqil |
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا (6)
Verily, rising (Nashi'ah) at night is better for understanding and more suitable for speech (recitation) |
إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا (7)
Verily, for you in the day is lengthy Sabh |
وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا (8)
And remember the Name of your Lord and (Tabattil) devote yourself to Him with complete devotion |
رَّبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا (9)
Lord of the east and the west; La ilaha illa Huwa, so take Him as a trustee |
وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا (10)
And be patient with what they say, and keep away from them in a good way |
وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا (11)
And leave Me alone to deal with the deniers, those who are in possession of good things of life. And give them respite for a little |
إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا (12)
Verily, with Us are Ankal, and Jahim |
وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا (13)
And a food that chokes, and a painful torment |
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَّهِيلًا (14)
On the Day when the earth and the mountains will (Tarjufu) shake, and the mountains will be a heap of sand poured out |
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا (15)
Verily, We have sent to you a Messenger to be a witness over you, as We did send a Messenger to Fir`awn |
فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا (16)
But Fir`awn disobeyed the Messenger; so We seized him with a severe punishment |
فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا (17)
Then how can you protect yourselves from the punishment, if you disbelieve, on a Day that will make the children gray-headed |
السَّمَاءُ مُنفَطِرٌ بِهِ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا (18)
Whereon the heaven will be cleft asunder His promise is certainly to be accomplished |
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا (19)
Verily, this is an admonition, therefore whosoever wills, let him take a path to His Lord |
۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ (20)
Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand a little less than two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and also a party of those with you. And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you. So, recite you of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you sick, others traveling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty, yet others fighting in Allah's cause. So recite as much of the Qur'an as may be easy |
